00:00:01.001 --> 00:00:05.000
I thought it was supposed
to be Friday the 13th.

00:00:05.001 --> 00:00:07.000
Who says computers don't make mistakes?

00:00:07.001 --> 00:00:09.000
It's Friday the 13th, stupid.

00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:11.000
Alright, so we're off by a day.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.000
Anyhow, on this Friday the 14th,
we have assembled two gruesome teams of

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.001
terrifying techies, horrifying hackers who
will face off in a thriller that would

00:00:20.001 --> 00:00:22.001
make Hannibal the Cannibal look like a nerd.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.001
Today from San Jose, California,
we bring you Computer Bowl Five, the east

00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:31.001
against the west on this special
edition of The Computer Chronicles.

00:00:46.001 --> 00:00:51.000
Computer Chronicles is brought to you in
part by Intel Microprocessor Technology

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.000
for the software of today and tomorrow.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Intel, the computer inside.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.001
Additional funding is provided by the
Software Publishers Association, providers

00:01:00.001 --> 00:01:03.000
of educational materials
to help manage software.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.000
Don't copy that floppy.

00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:11.001
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
and hackers of all ages.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.000
Welcome to the Computer Museum's 1993
Computer Bowl Version 5.0, Computer Bowl

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
Five presented by the Association
for Computing Machinery.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.001
We're here tonight in the San Jose Civic
Auditorium on Friday the 14th, a night

00:01:26.001 --> 00:01:30.001
of potential horror for the
losing team in this fifth annual

00:01:30.001 --> 00:01:32.000
contest of computer trivia.

00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:36.001
We're here on the west coast tonight because
the Silicon Valley smart guys scored

00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:41.000
a technical knockout last year at the
hassle in the castle in Boston, beating the

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:47.001
east coast team by a score of 320 to 240
and thus that beautiful silver computer

00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:51.000
bowl you see over there has been residing
here in the Silicon Valley for the past

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
year a symbol of computer trivia superiority.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.001
But however, after four years now,
after four years worth of computer bowl

00:01:59.001 --> 00:02:01.001
battles, the score is in fact tied.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Two victories for the east so far,
two victories for the west so tonight is the

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.000
rubber match and who is going to win tonight?

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.000
Will it be the west?

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.001
Yes.

00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:19.001
But there is another side
as always to that story.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.001
For back east in Boston right now at
the Computer Museum we are going live

00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:27.001
tonight via satellite to all those
east coast fans who could not

00:02:27.001 --> 00:02:29.000
afford to fly out to California.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.000
All right you guys out there in Boston,
you rooting for the east I take it?

00:02:33.001 --> 00:02:35.000
Somebody out there make noise?

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.000
Oh we even have an impartial crowd right here.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.000
All right now since not all of the west
coast computer expertise is here in the

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.001
Silicon Valley, we are also beaming
computer bowl 5 live tonight to Microsoft

00:02:46.001 --> 00:02:48.001
headquarters in Redmond Washington.

00:02:48.001 --> 00:02:50.001
Another group of west coast fans I assume.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.001
Guys in Redmond?

00:02:52.001 --> 00:02:52.001
Yes?

00:02:53.001 --> 00:02:54.000
You guys here?

00:02:54.001 --> 00:02:54.001
Yes?

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:55.000
West Coast?

00:02:56.001 --> 00:03:01.001
All right so without any further ado
let me introduce the mean and nasty

00:03:01.001 --> 00:03:06.000
contestants for this Friday the
14th rubber match showdown.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.001
All right are you ready?

00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:13.001

the terrifying techies from the east, the

00:03:13.001 --> 00:03:20.000
president and CEO of Legion Corporation,
John Bloodbath-Burton.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.001
Oh my God.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.000
From Phoenix Technologies,
Neil the Cannibal, Colvin.

00:03:31.001 --> 00:03:33.000
Oh they are here to kill.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.001
From View Logic Systems,
Alan the Hatchet Man Hanover.

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000
From the Patricia Seabold Group,

00:03:48.001 --> 00:03:49.001
Oh my goodness.

00:03:50.001 --> 00:03:56.001
Last but not least the captain of this
east coast team, the chairman and CEO of

00:03:56.001 --> 00:04:01.000
Powersoft Corporation,
Mitchell the Maniac Kurtzman.

00:04:04.001 --> 00:04:06.001
Oh my God no no no no.

00:04:09.001 --> 00:04:11.001
We know what we are in for tonight folks.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.000
All right can the west
coast team top this for the

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.000
horrifying hackers from the west?

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.001
East Coast, always three hours ahead.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.001
Ladies and gentlemen the horrifying
hackers of the west, the defending world

00:04:37.001 --> 00:04:41.001
champions who have threatened to frighten
the daylights out of these opponents

00:04:41.001 --> 00:04:43.000
who are dressed in white.

00:04:43.001 --> 00:04:50.000
First the chairman and CEO of Be Incorporated,
Jean-Louis Grusome-Gassez.

00:04:57.001 --> 00:05:02.001
From Go Corporation, Jerry the Killer Kaplan.

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.001
Oh these are mean dudes
these guys from the west.

00:05:09.001 --> 00:05:13.001
Jerry the Killer Kaplan,
no messing around with this guy.

00:05:13.001 --> 00:05:18.000
From Super Mac Inc,
Michael the Madman McConnell.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.001
From Data Quest Incorporated,
Lisa the Thrasher Thorell.

00:05:33.001 --> 00:05:37.001
Lisa the Thrasher Thorell
takes her place in that line.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.001
Finally the captain of the west coast
team from Network General Corporation,

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.000
Harry the Slicer Saul.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000
Ladies and gentlemen and I hesitate
to use that phrase, characters.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:55.001
Oh my God.

00:05:58.001 --> 00:06:00.000
Hold it, hold it, hold it, no, no, no, no, no.

00:06:00.001 --> 00:06:02.001
This is World Wide Federation of Wrestling.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.001
Could you guys please get in your cages,
that's where you belong.

00:06:06.001 --> 00:06:10.000
Get please into your seats inside our
little cages over here right now so we can

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.000
get Computer Bowl 5 underway.

00:06:12.001 --> 00:06:13.001
Let me go through the rules here.

00:06:13.001 --> 00:06:16.000
There are going to be four
rounds in this computer bowl.

00:06:16.001 --> 00:06:21.000
Round one, round two, round three,
you see how easy this is and round four.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.000
Right, it's very simple.

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.001
In each round there will
be two kinds of questions.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.001
There are toss up questions worth one
point each and any individual player on

00:06:29.001 --> 00:06:32.000
either team can answer one
of those toss up questions.

00:06:32.001 --> 00:06:36.000
If your answer to a toss up question is wrong,
then the player from the other

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.000
team may try to answer that same
question and get the point.

00:06:39.001 --> 00:06:43.000
If you ring your buzzer before you have
finished asking the question, before we

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.001
have finished asking the question,
and your answer is wrong, the opposing team

00:06:46.001 --> 00:06:49.001
will get to hear the full
question and then get to answer.

00:06:49.001 --> 00:06:52.000
So think before you speak or
certainly before you buzz.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.001
All right,
there are also special bonus round questions

00:06:55.001 --> 00:06:57.000
that will be directed to one team only.

00:06:57.001 --> 00:07:01.000
Each team will have the chance to
answer four bonus round questions.

00:07:01.001 --> 00:07:05.001
The bonus round will be multiple part
questions worth a total of three points.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.000
The bonus round questions will rotate
from east to west and east and etc.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.000
Each side will have four.

00:07:10.001 --> 00:07:13.000
The bonus round questions can be
answered only by the team captain.

00:07:13.001 --> 00:07:17.001
The members of the team may consult
with the captain before he answers.

00:07:17.001 --> 00:07:20.001
You must please gentlemen and ladies,
ring your buzzer and

00:07:20.001 --> 00:07:22.000
be recognized before you answer.

00:07:22.001 --> 00:07:25.001
I know you're all a bunch of wild guys,
but we have to play by the rules here.

00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:29.001
If you talk before being recognized,
you will forfeit your chance and only the

00:07:29.001 --> 00:07:31.001
opposite team will get a chance
to answer that question.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.001
And they will of course
already heard your answer.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.000
Now, since we know how mean and nasty you
techies of terror can be, on Friday the

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.000
14th in particular,
we have invited two experts to be our

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.001
judges for tonight's computer bowl.

00:07:44.001 --> 00:07:47.001
It will be their job to rule
on any disputed answers.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.000
In the judges box tonight from
the east coast from fluid

00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.000
incorporated, Dr. David Nelson.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.000
And I guess since we're here in a converted
basketball court, our judges have

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.001
become referees tonight, it looks like.

00:08:03.001 --> 00:08:06.001
All right, sitting in a judges box also
for computer bowl five representing the

00:08:06.001 --> 00:08:09.001
west coast from asset
management company John Schock.

00:08:14.001 --> 00:08:19.000
Now, it is my pleasure to introduce to
you the man who holds the title of west

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.001
coast's most valuable player from computer
bowl two, but very sad to say for

00:08:23.001 --> 00:08:28.000
some, he has now lost the title of
world's most eligible bachelor.

00:08:28.001 --> 00:08:32.000
Ladies and gentlemen, the chairman of
the board of Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gates.

00:08:41.001 --> 00:08:44.000
Okay, start your brains ladies and gentlemen,

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.001
Bill start with the first toss up question.

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:51.000
In 1978, Ward Christiansen and
Randy Seuss created a computer

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.000
first in the city of Chicago.

00:08:53.001 --> 00:08:56.001
What computer based innovation did they create?

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.001
Okay, well we're starting with a tough one.

00:09:00.001 --> 00:09:02.000
All right, let's go to Neil of the east.

00:09:02.001 --> 00:09:04.001
The expo item file transfer protocol.

00:09:05.001 --> 00:09:07.000
No, that is not the correct answer.

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.001
Anybody on the west like to
take a shot at this now.

00:09:09.001 --> 00:09:11.000
You got to ring your buzzer
somebody on the west

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.001
quickly if you'd like to answer this question.

00:09:13.001 --> 00:09:15.000
Computer innovation started in Chicago.

00:09:15.001 --> 00:09:16.001
Okay, Jerry Kaplan, what's your answer?

00:09:16.001 --> 00:09:18.000
It was a virtual reality game, wasn't it?

00:09:18.001 --> 00:09:20.000
No, I'm afraid that's not the right answer.

00:09:20.001 --> 00:09:22.000
Either the score is still zero here.

00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:25.000
The answer is the first bulletin board system.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.000
First bulletin board system.

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:27.001
Okay, let's go to the second.

00:09:28.001 --> 00:09:29.001
No, no, no, that was good.

00:09:29.001 --> 00:09:30.000
Go to the second.

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.001
Next question, Bill.

00:09:31.001 --> 00:09:34.001
PC Letter publishes a vapor
list of software products

00:09:34.001 --> 00:09:36.000
that have been announced but not shipped.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.001
One software program holds the record for
being on the PC vaporware list for the

00:09:41.001 --> 00:09:44.000
longest time, four years and two months.

00:09:44.001 --> 00:09:47.001
What program holds this dubious distinction?

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.001
Was it Lotus 1-2-3 for the Macintosh,
Microsoft Windows, D-Base

00:09:54.001 --> 00:09:56.001
4 or OS 2?

00:09:58.001 --> 00:09:59.001
All right, which of those was the longest?

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000
All right,
we have an answer from Jean-Louis Gasset.

00:10:02.001 --> 00:10:04.000
Lotus 1-2-3 for the Macintosh.

00:10:04.001 --> 00:10:05.000
Yes, indeed.

00:10:05.001 --> 00:10:11.000
Okay, one point for the West Coast,
the rest ahead, one to nothing.

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.000
Next question, Bill.

00:10:14.001 --> 00:10:19.001
A recent art exhibit at the Georges
Pompidou Center in Paris featured a

00:10:19.001 --> 00:10:24.000
supercomputer that generates real-time
images that evolve and change

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.001
with audience interaction.

00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:29.001
What supercomputer was used for this exhibit?

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.000
These are the real tough questions, guys.

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.000
All right, anybody take a shot of it?

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.001
Okay, Harry Saul from the West Coast.

00:10:38.001 --> 00:10:38.001
Cray-1.

00:10:39.001 --> 00:10:41.000
No, it was not a Cray-1.

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.000
Anybody from the East likes
to take a shot at that?

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.001
Okay, we've got Alan Hanover.

00:10:44.001 --> 00:10:45.000
What's your answer?

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.000
Cray-XMP.

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.001
That is not the answer either.

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.001
The answer is the CM2 connection machine.

00:10:52.001 --> 00:10:54.000
All right, we're snuffing these guys.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.001
All right, Bill, let's go to the
third question and see how they do.

00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.001
A high-tech executive recently wrote a
book having nothing to do with computers.

00:11:01.001 --> 00:11:04.000
It's about diet and nutrition.

00:11:04.001 --> 00:11:06.000
The title is The 10% Solution.

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.000
Who is the author?

00:11:08.001 --> 00:11:14.001
Is it Ray Kurzweil, Mitch Kippor,
Philippe Kahn, or John Ankers?

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.001
This is not a tough one, guys.
10% Solution, Jerry Kaplan, West Coast.

00:11:21.001 --> 00:11:22.001
I'll guess Ray Kurzweil.

00:11:22.001 --> 00:11:24.000
Ray Kurzweil is the answer.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.000
Ray Kurzweil, okay.

00:11:26.001 --> 00:11:29.000
It is 2-0 for the West Coast.

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.001
Okay, now it's time for our very
first bonus round, and this

00:11:32.001 --> 00:11:34.000
bonus round is going to be for the East Coast.

00:11:34.001 --> 00:11:36.000
Again,
you can answer only through Mitch the captain.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.000
You guys can consult.

00:11:37.001 --> 00:11:39.001
The subject here is computer books,
and I'll ask you

00:11:39.001 --> 00:11:41.000
three questions in this bonus round.

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.000
Each is worth one point.

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.000
Here's the first question.

00:11:43.001 --> 00:11:48.001
In the book Colossus the Forbin Project,
an American supercomputer is pitted

00:11:48.001 --> 00:11:50.001
against a Russian supercomputer.

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.001
The American computer was called Colossus.

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.000
What was the name of the Russian computer?

00:11:56.001 --> 00:11:57.001
Was it Gorbachev?

00:12:00.001 --> 00:12:01.000
[...]

00:12:02.001 --> 00:12:03.000
Guardian?

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.001
Or Sputnik?

00:12:05.001 --> 00:12:08.000
Consult and give me the answer
through your captain for one point.

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.000
Guardian is the right answer.

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.000
That's another point for the West, okay.

00:12:13.001 --> 00:12:16.001
All right, here's a chance for another point,
second point in the bonus round.

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.000
Tracy Kidder wrote a book called
The Soul of a New Machine.

00:12:20.001 --> 00:12:23.001
In that book,
hardware designers are called Hardy Boys.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.000
What are the software designers called?

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:31.001
Quickly, please.

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.000
I need an answer from the
captain Mitch right now.

00:12:34.001 --> 00:12:35.000
Softies?

00:12:36.001 --> 00:12:37.001
Good idea, but you're wrong.

00:12:37.001 --> 00:12:38.000
You don't get that one.

00:12:38.001 --> 00:12:40.000
Micro Kids was the answer to that one.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.000
All right, here's a chance,
one more chance in your bonus round.

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.001
There is a best seller out now
published by Doubleday, and

00:12:45.001 --> 00:12:47.000
the title is simply Gates.

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.001
Who wrote the book?

00:12:52.001 --> 00:12:53.001
I need your answer right now.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:55.001
Stephen Maines.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:57.001
Is that your answer?

00:12:58.001 --> 00:12:59.001
That's not good enough.

00:12:59.001 --> 00:13:00.001
He was one of the authors.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.001
It's Stephen Maines and Paul Andrews.

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.000
All right, well, not so bad.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.000
Okay, let's see how we're doing now.

00:13:05.001 --> 00:13:09.001
The score is West Coast 2,
East Coast 1, and actually that's...

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.001
All right.

00:13:11.001 --> 00:13:12.001
Two to one, a little...

00:13:14.001 --> 00:13:17.000
Those neighbors on the top floor
are such a pain in the back.

00:13:17.001 --> 00:13:18.001
They're always making noises.

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.001
That is the end of round one.

00:13:20.001 --> 00:13:22.000
The score is two for the West.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:22.001
One for the East.

00:13:22.001 --> 00:13:25.000
We'll be right back with
round two in just a moment.

00:13:36.001 --> 00:13:40.000
Okay, we're going back now for the second
round here of Computer Bowl V, and

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.000
we're going to resume right now
with some more toss-up questions.

00:13:42.001 --> 00:13:43.001
The score is two for the West.

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.001
One for the East.

00:13:44.001 --> 00:13:45.000
A slow start.

00:13:45.001 --> 00:13:46.001
Bill, go to your first toss-up question.

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:51.000
According to the New York Times, what U.
S. government official once sent the

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.000
following email message,
Oh, Lord, I lost the slip

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000
and broke one of the high heels.

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.000
Forgive, please.

00:13:58.001 --> 00:14:00.000
We'll return the wig on Monday.

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.000
Was it William Casey, J.
Edgar Hoover, Oliver North, or George Bush?

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.001
Who sent that email message,
John Burton, on the East Coast?

00:14:09.001 --> 00:14:10.000
J. Edgar Hoover.

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.000
That is correct.

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:13.001
What was it?

00:14:13.001 --> 00:14:14.000
What was it?

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.000
Good guess, but not the right answer.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.000
Anybody on the West Coast like to try it?

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.000
Who sent that email message?

00:14:19.001 --> 00:14:20.001
What was his answer?

00:14:20.001 --> 00:14:23.000
The answer he gave was J. Edgar Hoover.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.001
That was not the correct answer.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.001
And I've got a buzz from Jean-Louis Gasset.

00:14:26.001 --> 00:14:27.000
What is your answer?

00:14:27.001 --> 00:14:28.000
William Casey.

00:14:28.001 --> 00:14:30.000
It was not William Casey.

00:14:30.001 --> 00:14:31.000
Neither of you got it.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.000
The answer was Oliver North.

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.000
You've got to think back to
those contrary hearings.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:36.001
Okay, next question, Bill.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.000
What is the exact number
of bytes in a megabyte?

00:14:42.001 --> 00:14:43.001
Oh, come on.

00:14:43.001 --> 00:14:44.001
Come on.

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
All right, John Burton of the East Coast.
1,096K.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.001
That is not correct.

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.000
Would anybody from the West like to
try and answer to that question?

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.000
How many bytes in a megabyte?

00:14:58.001 --> 00:15:00.000
All right, Lisa Thorell.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.001
What's your answer? 1,024.

00:15:02.001 --> 00:15:03.001
It's not, not, not.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.000
I'm afraid not.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:11.001
The answer is 1,048,576 megabyte.

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.000
Okay, next question, Bill.

00:15:13.001 --> 00:15:14.000
It's still 2 to 1 West.

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.001
A widely used distributed campus
information system originated

00:15:19.001 --> 00:15:21.001
at the University of Minnesota.

00:15:22.001 --> 00:15:25.000
The system was named after the
University of Minnesota mascot.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:26.001
What is it called?

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000
Okay, the name of the campus network system.

00:15:31.001 --> 00:15:33.001
All right, Mitch Kurtzman of the East Coast.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.000
Timberwolf.

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.000
Timberwolf is not the answer.

00:15:39.001 --> 00:15:41.000
Anybody from the West like to give it a shot?

00:15:41.001 --> 00:15:43.000
Okay, we've got a shot from Michael McConnell.

00:15:43.001 --> 00:15:43.001
Gopher.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.000
Gopher is the right answer.

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.000
Okay, what do you know?

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.001
All right, 3 to 1 in this closed game here.

00:15:51.001 --> 00:15:52.001
Let's go to the next one, Bill.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000
Some computers have SCSI ports.

00:15:55.001 --> 00:15:58.000
SCSI stands for SCSI.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.000
What does S...

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.000
All right, Harry Sol of the West thinks
he knows the answer to that, Harry.

00:16:03.001 --> 00:16:05.000
Small computer systems interface.

00:16:05.001 --> 00:16:08.001
Absolutely right,
small computer systems interface, okay.

00:16:09.001 --> 00:16:13.001
All right, so the score here in the middle
of round two is four for the West, one

00:16:13.001 --> 00:16:16.000
for the East, and we're going to go
to our second bonus round, and this

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.001
is for you guys up top on the West Coast.

00:16:17.001 --> 00:16:19.001
You can get three more points now,
so here's your chance.

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:21.000
The subject will be acronyms.

00:16:21.001 --> 00:16:23.001
Only an answer through the Captain Harry,
please.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.000
WIMP is a word that used to
be applied to George Bush.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.000
In computers, WIMP is an acronym.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.001
What do the letters W-I-M-P stand for?

00:16:35.001 --> 00:16:38.000
Consult an answer through your Captain, please.

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.001
Right now we need an answer.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.000
W-I-M-P, the computer acronym,
which stands for Harry.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:44.001
I need an answer.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.000
Give it a shot.

00:16:47.001 --> 00:16:50.000
Windows interface mouse and pointer.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.000
Not bad, but wrong.

00:16:53.001 --> 00:16:58.000
Windows, icons, mouse,
and then pull down or pop up menus.

00:16:58.001 --> 00:16:58.001
That's WIMP.

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.001
All right, you've got two more
chances to get two points here.

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.000
P-C-M-C-I-A.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.001
Need I say more, all right.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.001
What does P-C-M-C-I-A stand for?

00:17:13.001 --> 00:17:17.001
Personal computer, memory card,
international association.

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.000
All right, you've got a point for that one.

00:17:21.001 --> 00:17:23.001
All right,
here's your chance to get one more point.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.000
ISO is a computer acronym.

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.001
The letter's I-S-O. What do they stand for?

00:17:33.001 --> 00:17:35.000
Need an answer, Harry.

00:17:35.001 --> 00:17:40.001
The English version is international
organization for standards.

00:17:40.001 --> 00:17:41.001
You guys are smart.

00:17:42.001 --> 00:17:44.000
I-O-S in the English version.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.001
International organization for standardization.

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.001
One more point for the west.

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.000
The score is now six for the west,
one for the east.

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.000
Let's get out your chainsaws and get going.

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.000
Bill, next question.

00:18:00.001 --> 00:18:06.001
November 16, 1992, marked the beginning
of nationwide ISDN service in the United

00:18:06.001 --> 00:18:10.001
States as local and national carriers
were networked for the first time.

00:18:11.001 --> 00:18:13.001
This historic link-up was given a name.

00:18:13.001 --> 00:18:18.000
Was it called the Golden Splice,
the Silver Spike, the Digital

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.000
Deed, or the Magic Moment?

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.000
All right, we have an answer from
Harry Saul on the west coast.

00:18:24.001 --> 00:18:25.001
The Golden Splice.

00:18:25.001 --> 00:18:27.001
Golden Splice is the correct answer.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.000
Another point for the west coast.

00:18:31.001 --> 00:18:32.001
Next question, Bill.

00:18:32.001 --> 00:18:37.001
Tom Brigham is generally credited
with having invented the computer

00:18:37.001 --> 00:18:39.000
technique called morphing.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.001
For his invention, Brigham recently
received a technical achievement award.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.001
What award did he receive?

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.001
All right,
an answer from Jerry Kaplan on the west.

00:18:48.001 --> 00:18:49.001
It was the Academy Award, I believe.

00:18:50.001 --> 00:18:51.001
Sorry, Academy Award you said?

00:18:51.001 --> 00:18:52.000
That's good enough.

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.000
An Oscar from the Academy Awards, absolutely.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.000
That's another point for the west.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.000
All right, next question, Bill.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:05.001
Steve Jobs has a daughter whose name
is the same as that of a computer.

00:19:06.001 --> 00:19:07.000
What is...

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.001
Jean-Louis Gasset.

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.001
What's the answer?

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.001
Lisa.

00:19:11.001 --> 00:19:13.000
Lisa is correct.

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.000
Another point for the west.

00:19:18.001 --> 00:19:19.000
Okay, next one, Bill.

00:19:19.001 --> 00:19:25.000
The IBM 7094 had a light that came on
to tell you the oil pressure was low.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.000
What was the oil used for?

00:19:30.001 --> 00:19:32.001
All right, Harry Sol of the west coast.

00:19:33.001 --> 00:19:34.000
Cooling the memory.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
That's absolutely right,
cooling the core memory.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.001
All right, the score is 10 for the west.

00:19:42.001 --> 00:19:44.000
It is one point for the east.

00:19:44.001 --> 00:19:48.001
We're going to move ahead now, and,
Bill, I'm going to get to the next bonus

00:19:48.001 --> 00:19:52.000
round question because we're having
to slip ahead a bit and catch up.

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.001
This is a bonus round for the east coast,
all right, guys?

00:19:54.001 --> 00:19:56.000
You've got a chance to get three points here.

00:19:56.001 --> 00:19:59.000
The subject of this bonus round is Microsoft.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.001
What is the name of the data compression
feature that is used in Microsoft's new

00:20:06.001 --> 00:20:08.001
version of DOS 6.0?

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:10.001
An answer from the Captain Minj.

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.001
Double space.

00:20:11.001 --> 00:20:13.000
Double space is right.

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.000
One point for the east coast.

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.000
We're up to 10 to 2.

00:20:15.001 --> 00:20:16.001
All right, here's a chance for another point.

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.001
In 1985, several Japanese computer
companies hoped to introduce computers into

00:20:21.001 --> 00:20:25.000
the U.S.
market using a new operating system that was

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.001
written for them by Microsoft.

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000
What was the name of that operating system?

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.001
Mitch?

00:20:32.001 --> 00:20:32.001
MSX.

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.001
MSX, right again.

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.000
Another point for the east coast.

00:20:35.001 --> 00:20:38.001
All right, here's a chance for one more
point in this special bonus round.

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.000
According to U.S. News & World Report,
quite a few Microsoft employees have

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.001
become millionaires by virtue of
their ownership of Microsoft stock.

00:20:47.001 --> 00:20:52.001
How many Microsoft employees own at
least a million dollars' worth of stock?

00:20:52.001 --> 00:20:57.000
Is it 15, 150, 500, or 2,000?

00:21:00.001 --> 00:21:03.000
2,000. 2,000 is correct, okay.

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.001
Somewhere between 2,000 and 2,200, I'm told.

00:21:07.001 --> 00:21:09.001
All right, we're going to go
back to the toss-up questions.

00:21:09.001 --> 00:21:11.000
The score right now,
you caught up a little bit,

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.000
guys. 10 for the west, 4 for the east.

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.001
Bill, go ahead.

00:21:14.001 --> 00:21:20.000
Cartoonist Scott Adams sometimes puts
his internet email address between the

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.000
panels of his nationally
syndicated comic strip.

00:21:23.001 --> 00:21:25.000
What comic strip does he draw?

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.000
That's the question, guys.

00:21:30.001 --> 00:21:33.000
All right, Mitch Kurtzman from the east coast.

00:21:33.001 --> 00:21:34.000
[...] and Stimpy.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.001
No, I'm afraid not.

00:21:37.001 --> 00:21:39.001
Anybody from the west like to give it a shot.

00:21:39.001 --> 00:21:43.000
The cartoon script drawn by Scott Adams,
in which he sneaks in little

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.000
computer things.

00:21:46.001 --> 00:21:47.001
Somebody have to ring a buzzer for me.

00:21:47.001 --> 00:21:49.000
Okay, Michael McAllin and Hobbs.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:50.001
Calvin and Hobbs.

00:21:50.001 --> 00:21:51.001
No, no, no, no.

00:21:51.001 --> 00:21:52.001
The answer is Dilbert.

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.000
Nobody has time to read the comics,
I realize that.

00:21:55.001 --> 00:21:57.000
All right, next question, Bill.

00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.000
Which of the following terms is the
name of a type of computer memory?

00:22:03.001 --> 00:22:06.001
Biax, Triax, Quadrax, or Pentax?

00:22:08.001 --> 00:22:09.001
Which is the right name?

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.001
Okay, Alan Hanover from the east coast.

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.000
Triax.

00:22:13.001 --> 00:22:14.001
That is not the correct answer.

00:22:14.001 --> 00:22:16.001
Anybody from the west like to give it a shot.

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.001
Okay, we have Jean-Louis Gasset.

00:22:19.001 --> 00:22:20.000
Quadrax.

00:22:20.001 --> 00:22:22.000
No, that is not the answer either.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.000
The answer is Biax.

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.000
Biax was the right answer.

00:22:25.001 --> 00:22:26.000
Bill, next question.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:31.001
Since 1984, a contest has been held on
Usenet for the most unreadable, created

00:22:31.001 --> 00:22:33.001
bizarre, but working C program.

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.000
What is the name of this contest?

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.001
Contest held on Usenet for the most
bizarre C program, but one that works.

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.000
Anybody want to give it a shot?

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.000
Going once, going twice.

00:22:46.001 --> 00:22:47.000
Got nothing to lose.

00:22:47.001 --> 00:22:48.000
Give it a shot here, somebody.

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.000
All right, Jean-Louis Gasset.

00:22:50.001 --> 00:22:50.001
Windows.

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.001
We'd love to give you a point for that,
but we can.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.001
I'm sorry, Jean-Louis.

00:23:11.001 --> 00:23:12.001
Bill, get back at him.

00:23:12.001 --> 00:23:13.000
Your turn.

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.001
You're not going to tell him the right answer.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.001
The answer is the obfuscated C contest.

00:23:20.001 --> 00:23:21.000
Not Windows.

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:30.000
The adventure game King's Quest was
originally written for a particular computer.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.001
The game outlived the computer.

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.001
For what computer was King's
Quest originally written?

00:23:38.001 --> 00:23:43.000
For what computer, now an orphan,
was King's Quest originally written?

00:23:43.001 --> 00:23:44.000
Come on, guys.

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.001
Pretty easy.

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.000
Neil Colvin.

00:23:45.001 --> 00:23:46.000
The Commodore Pet?

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.001
No, not the Commodore Pet.

00:23:48.001 --> 00:23:50.000
Anybody from the West like to take a shot?

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.000
Lisa Thorell.

00:23:51.001 --> 00:23:52.001
Atari 520ST.

00:23:53.001 --> 00:23:54.001
No, I'm afraid not.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.001
All right, you're out.

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.001
IBM PC Junior.

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:58.001
Written for the PC Junior.

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.001
All right,
here is the last question of round two.

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.000
Go ahead, Bill.

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:08.000
Kevin Costner, Alan Greenspan,
and Dick Kavell all have something in common

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.000
that's related to computers.

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.001
What is it that they have in common?

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.000
Jerry Kaplan of the West.

00:24:16.001 --> 00:24:19.000
They're spokesmen for Apple
using an Apple Macintosh.

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.000
Absolutely right.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.001
They've all done commercials for Apple.

00:24:21.001 --> 00:24:22.000
Very good.

00:24:26.001 --> 00:24:29.000
Okay, hard to believe already,
but this is the end of round two.

00:24:29.001 --> 00:24:32.001
In the end of the first half of the computer
bowl, the West is considerably ahead

00:24:32.001 --> 00:24:34.000
right now, 11 points to four.

00:24:34.001 --> 00:24:37.001
All right, for those of you watching here
in the San Jose Civic Auditorium, for

00:24:37.001 --> 00:24:42.000
all of you watching live via satellite in
Boston and Redmond, please stay seated.

00:24:42.001 --> 00:24:45.001
We'll resume computer bowl
five in just about 15 minutes

00:24:45.001 --> 00:24:47.000
after some halftime entertainment.

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.001
Now, for those of you watching this at
home on television, that is it for this

00:24:50.001 --> 00:24:52.001
special edition of Computer Chronicles.

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.000
If you want to see how this all ends up,
we'll be back here same time, same

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.000
station next week with the second
half of Computer Bowl Five.

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.001
Computer Chronicles is brought to you in
part by Intel Microprocessor Technology

00:25:11.001 --> 00:25:13.001
for the software of today and tomorrow.

00:25:14.001 --> 00:25:16.000
Intel, the computer inside.

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:21.000
Additional funding is provided by the
Software Publishers Association, providers

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.000
of educational materials
to help manage software.

00:25:24.001 --> 00:25:25.001
Don't copy that floppy.

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.001
Video cassette copies of
this program are available.

00:25:30.001 --> 00:25:35.000
